Handwoven Embroidered Rust with Leather Santiago Satchel Guatemala

Beautiful rust overnight satchel produced in collaboration of three artisans in Guatemala - a weaver, a embroiderer and a leather worker. The cotton durable cloth is woven by Francisco Esquina. Jose Sicay Tzina then does the beautiful bird embroidery on his zig zag sewing machine. Then it goes to Mateo to make the bag. We love this collaboration and this bag is one of our best sellers.

Outer fabric: handwoven durable 100% cotton is rust color. Genuine suede bottom and handles are light cocoa color. Zipper & magnetic enclosure plus a zippered inside pocket large enough to contain your passport and boarding pass. Fully lined.

The embroidery on each bag is one-of-a-kind so please allow for variations. 

Jose Sicay Embroidery

But José embroiders on an old Singer sewing machine. Nothing computerized about it. His talent reminds us of the saying “Great mastery is as if unskilled.” He seamlessly switches colors and in the blink of an eye a bird quickly comes to life so vividly you think it’s going to take flight.
